If you play on a big board and want pieces that fill it properly, these Leningrad Club chess pieces are worth a look. They're a full club-sized set with one standout detail: knights carved with a double mane. It's a set that feels at home in a club or on a large board at home.
The pieces are triple weighted, so they feel solid in your hand and sit firmly on the board. With a 102mm king, this set suits a large board with 60mm squares. Each set is handmade in India.
You can choose rosewood or ebonised boxwood for the dark side, both paired with boxwood. Two spare queens are included, but no board or box. See more sets like this in our Staunton chess pieces collection.
Most Staunton knights have a single mane running down the neck. On this set, the knights are carved with a double mane, which gives them more depth and detail. It's the first thing most people notice about the set, and each knight shows small differences from being carved by hand.
The rest of the pieces follow classic Staunton lines, so the set is easy to read during a game. Every piece is triple weighted and has thick green felt on the base, which keeps moves smooth and quiet.
Because the pieces are sized for 60mm squares, they're best on a large board. On a smaller board they'll feel crowded, so it's worth checking your square size first.
Both options share the same design, the same double mane knights and the same boxwood light pieces. The only difference is the timber on the dark side.
Rosewood is a natural dark timber with a warm brown colour and visible grain. It gives the set a rich, traditional look. Ebonised boxwood is boxwood stained black, for the classic black and white contrast that's easy to read at a glance.
If you want warmth and natural grain, go with rosewood. If you want the sharpest contrast for play, choose ebonised.
Both options come with two spare queens and thick green felt on every base. The weight and size are the same, so the choice comes down to the look you prefer and the board you plan to use.
"The double mane knights make this one of the better-looking club sets we carry. These pieces need a big board with 60mm squares, so they're not the right pick if you already own a standard tournament board. If you have the board for them, they're a lovely, solid set to play with."
- Blake Sterling, CEO & Founder, Sterling Chess
